Posted July 29, 2014 1:01 am

BrightSide Theatre, in residence at North Central College in Naperville, announced its 2014-15 season Tuesday will feature a radio play, a comic mystery and a beloved musical.

Now in its fourth year, BrightSide will spend its upcoming season celebrating friends and family beginning on Nov. 28 with "It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play," in which five actors accompanied by sound effects perform a stage adaptation of Frank Capra's 1946 classic.

BrightSide returns March 6, 2015, with Neil Simon's "Rumors," a comedy whodunit about a dinner party whose guests arrive to find the hostess missing and her husband shot through the earlobe.

The season concludes June 12, 2015, with "The Sound of Music," the Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammerstein classic about the novice nun who falls in love with a stern widower and his seven children just as the Nazis begin their occupation of Austria.

Performances take place at Meiley-Swallow Hall, North Central College, 31 S. Ellsworth Ave., Naperville. Tickets start at $20. Season subscriptions are available. Call (630) 447-8497 or see brightsidetheatre.com.
